By integrating the grid-following control and grid-forming control, the adaptability of grid-connected converters to the grid impedance fluctuation can be effectively improved, and a stable operation in a wide short circuit ratio range can be realized. The existing fusion control schemes focus on the influence of the short circuit ratio on the stability of the converter, ignoring the influence of the active power fluctuation of the renewable energy in the design of the fusion scheme. In order to improve this shortcoming, an adaptive switching control of voltage source converters in the renewable energy station is proposed in this paper. Based on the oscillation characteristics of the grid-following converter and the grid-forming converter, this method selects the operating short circuit ratio as the switching index of the grid-following mode and the grid-forming mode. Compared with the current switching schemes based on the short circuit ratio, the operating short circuit ratio replaces the rated capacity of the station with the active output of the station, so it can more reasonably reflect changes in stability caused by active power fluctuations and then give the appropriate switching command, which means that unnecessary switching can be reduced and the control mode can be correctly converted to enhance stability when the system state changes.
